Hopeless Records & Sub City have launched a few eBay auctions, where 100% of the proceeds from all these items will go directly to The One Fund, which will be distributing funds to victims and their families.

Hopeless Records’ non-profit arm Sub City has teamed up with our bands in many ways over the years to try to make a difference in the world. Monday when the events unfolded at the Boston Marathon we felt compelled to do what we could to help.

So Hopeless Records/Sub City is once again working with our bands to raise money for those affected by the tragedy in Boston.

100% of the proceeds from all these items will go directly to The One Fund, which will be distributing funds to victims and their families.

This LP was part of a one time 600 pressing sold ONLY through the band’s pre-order. The bundles including this color vinyl sold out within a few hours of being announced. Once all the orders were finally accounted for there were a handful of blue vinyl left over. We are making the last ones available for auction in order to raise money to help those in need.

The actual album will not be delivered until after album street date; estimated to ship on 5/14/2013 — may be delayed due to current vinyl manufacturing delays.

Band Spotlight

I'm not sure if it's the vocals reminiscent of the original singer from UK punk act Drones, or very early days Davey Havok, but something about the new EP from Milwaukee hardcore act Mud Dog is really grabbing my attention. It might be the gang vocals on title track "Strike Back" or the change ups with secondary singers on a few of the songs. Or all of the above. The point is "Strike Back" is worth a listen for any hardcore punk fans, all the more so since it's up for free download on bandcamp.
